Next weekend in the hall after the Vigil and Sunday Masses - St Andrew’s Parish Pastoral Council Consultation Exercise
Its purpose will be to help shape our parish priorities over the next three years, and we would invite your ideas / views on what we can do in the parish to
Deepen our relationship with Jesus.
Develop our parish community.
Reach out to the wider world.
How will this be done? After the Vigil and Sunday Masses, we'd like as many parishioners as possible, to come into the hall and share your views in a similar way to the parish consultation exercise last year. If you're not able to come into the hall after Mass, there will still be an opportunity to feed in your thoughts via email [email protected] and a hard copy feedback sheet which will be available the following weekend.
RCIA Please keep in your prayers Jennifer Aire and Alison McDonald who were fully received into the Church and became Catholics this Easter. A great joy for them, for their families and for the parish.
Very many thanks to all those who worked so hard in so many ways with the liturgical, musical and social preparations for the Ceremonies of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum, and to everyone for their participation in the Liturgies. We are very grateful to the children and the children’s liturgy catechists for decorating the cross on the sanctuary, which will remain there until Pentecost Sunday, 24th May.
Easter artwork will be on display through to Pentecost Sunday. Many thanks to all those from the parish and from St Andrew’s Primary and Turnbull High who have contributed artwork. Rev Roddy from New Kilpatrick Church has asked me to convey his gratitude to all the artists and to the many people who visited the Holy Week Journeys exhibition. It’s hoped that a brochure of all the artwork will be produced.
